Enformable: Workers at Fukushima Daiichi drill new hole in torus of Unit 2 for survey [...] Workers found problems as they ran into steel pipes and metal grates which made it difficult to insert survey instruments. TEPCO is planning a survey that will measure the amount of radiation to ensure that no fuel is melting.

Tepco: “Condition after drilling a hole; Photo taken on January 28, 2013; Photo taken by Tokyo Electric Power Company”

[chirpy female voice] "Thank you for visiting. You have reached the… [static, click] NUM BER TWO… [click]torus. The corium is traveling right now and can't answer the hatch. Please leave a message at the tone…"

Reality Check:
1. Obviously, there is nothing in this picture that was (or is) 3,000 degree F, the Corium temperature.
2. Corium2 would have melted everything in sight at 3,000 F.
3. Corium leaked into the downtube of Torus2, and blew it out, taking Containment pressure to zero.
4. Corium2 melted through the concrete and steel floor of Containment2.
5. Corium2 melted through the Containment Base.
6. Corium melted out of Building2, and is somewhere in the sandstone underground.
7. Everything said by TEPCO and Japanese Government to this date has been is a lie.
8. Where is the corium from Units1,2,&3, TEPCO?

No country or scientist in the world can stop the meltdown. The root of the problem is nuclear itself. The electric company can can only pump water around, and continue watching the spread of radiation.

What is important, is to avoid future meltdowns. And that means, outlawing them. Otherwise the list will grow ..Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima (check Wiki for all known nuclear calamities).

Japanese are spending over a billion dollars to drill to the mantle of the earth.. they could drill under the coriums and insulate them in some manner.. they could take the current project and move it to Fukushima, with an altered plan of action.

Tepco is "planning a survey which will measure the amount of radiation to ensure that no fuel is melting"?? They've been WHERE for going on two years? First they announced that no one could even get near reactor 2, because it was "too hot." Then outside experts who actually CARE (including Michio Kaku)announced that three of the reactors had ALREADY melted down into "corium," which had "never happened before." As of last summer, 60% of the area's children had developed diabetes (radiation does A LOT of bad things!)and 36% had thyroid nodules. Now 55% have thyroid nodules and who knows how many more have diabetes. And these freaking criminals are out to
"ENSURE" that the cover-up of mass murder continues? They are going to measure the truly immeasurable, and then doctor the stats HOW? Why isn't the world clamoring for the arrests of these mass murderers?

– "Muon radiography (also called cosmic-ray radiography) uses secondary particles generated when cosmic rays collide with upper regions of Earth's atmosphere to create images of the objects that the particles, called muons, penetrate."

– "We now have a concept by which the Japanese can gather crucial data about what is going on inside their damaged reactor cores with minimal human exposure to the high radiation fields that exist in proximity to the reactor buildings," Borozdin said."

What makes you think they haven't already used this technology and that they would ever publish the results?

They probably don't want anyone to know where the corium is. It may all be in the ocean or below the ocean floor by now. The nuclear industry definitely doesn't want anyone to know how bad the nuclear industry has failed in Japan and in every other country which has a nuclear program. Everyone should be running from that kind of failure.
